Silent reverie engulfs the point of life
and demonic will rejoices this internal fire
for love these days and in those days
useless and inert in partnership with dirt
perceived within the confines of an egotist.  

So lies the spark of life like a disillusioned bride
and this is destiny at the height of its desire
signing off and cancelling love’s awakening
with the evil confidence of a protagonist.

Tested and found failing in spiritual beliefs
a right and left shift of mind offers no relief
for one in the grip and grasp of a psychic feel
that closely imitates a bona fide truth.

Love to ash and crash, crash, crash, the domino effect
from one hearth and home to reviews in retrospect
waiting in the ether like a dream about to be
for the signing off of another wasted life!

Though I do know the feeling, I am not sure a life ever is wasted.  Even broken lessons are lessons reviewed.

What powerful words! Great work!

Love

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Sorry about that, but it seems to be part of the process.

Your line - "waiting in the ether like a dream about to be
for the signing off of another wasted life!"

is so sad because no life is wasted.  Everybody has a purpose in life, it is just a matter of finding it.  To find it we may need guidance or it may just come to us if we are lucky, but a life is never wasted, and I am praying you do not believe this of yourself.  Well written.

Thank you all for reading my "vent". Yes, all things are indeed part of a process and I know deep down that there's no such thing as a wasted "life" - waste of "time" - yes, most decidedly!

Helen

From a poem of mine:

this wind takes it all and makes a fire again
the sky is the color of a tomb
and from the room the moan is calling
to the moon
where oh where is the pretty place
where tears could weep clean
and fall without making prints on face?

That, and listen to icebox.
